Forms

To create a Form:

1. Access a project and navigate to the Forms tab
2. Click Create a form

By default, you will autmatically be redirected into your projects Customize Menu. From here, you will be able to create, edit and share Forms. Your Form will take on the same name as the project it is connected to, but you can change the name of your Form and add a description to give directions or information to form submitters.

Asana Forms also come with two default questions, name and email, to ensure you get the contact information of the people who are requesting work from your team. You can choose to delete these questions when creating your Form.

Deleting the email question means that submitters won’t receive the email confirmation associated with their submission.

Forms branching

Forms branching is a Business feature.

Forms branching enables you to create follow-up questions associated with particular responses to dropdown or multi-select questions.

First, when creating your Form, choose either a dropdown or multi-select question from your questions list. Note that in selecting either, you must specifically include your own questions.

From here, hover over and click on the **Add a branch** icon located to the right of your chosen drop-down option. > You can have up to five levels of branches within branches.

Customize a Form

Once a Form has been created, you can add additional questions to your Form via the right sidebar.

Form settings

The ability to add a default assignee and a custom confirmation message is a Business feature.

Custom Field mapping

With Custom Field mapping, you can update what Form question responses are connected to in Asana.

You can also create a new Custom Field from the Connected to window.

Date field mapping

For date questions, you can also choose to have the Form question responses connected to the due date.

Header customization

Header customization is a Business feature.

To add a cover image, click on the Add cover image icon at the top of your Form.

The image dimensions for the Header are 800 x 120 pixels.

Custom branding on Forms

Enterprise users that have uploaded a logo to Asana via their Admin Console will have the option to display this logo on their Forms.

To add custom branding to your Form, first, please upload your company logo. You can do this through the Settings tab of your Admin Console.

Once the logo has been uploaded, navigate to your Form and click on the Form name / Form description. From here, click Show your organization's logo on this form.

Add attachments to a Form

You can also add attachments to your Form, so form submitters can attach creative briefs, images, documents, PDFs and more. Any attachment added to a Form will attach to the task that’s created in your project once the Form is submitted.

To add an attachment, click on the Attachment icon under your questions list.

Preview a Form

As you build your Form, you can preview it at any time to see how it will appear to form submitters.

Share a Form

Once your form is ready to share, you can click the Copy link button and the link will be copied to your clipboard. You can share the link with your teammates in Asana, as well as anyone who doesn’t have an Asana account, and they’ll be able to fill out the Form.

Once the Form is filled out, the Form submitter will see a confirmation message letting them know that their submission has been received, and their submission will come in as a new task in your project.

A confirmation email with a record of the Form submission is also sent after the Form is submitted.

The Form must include an email question and the submitter must complete the email question for the submission to be sent.

If the submitter is in Asana, you can add them as a task follower. If they are not in Asana, and you’d like them to follow along, you can send them an invite to join you in Asana.

You can then add followers, prioritize work, change task details, and move work forward to ensure that the task gets completed.

Forms as a template

Asana-created project templates include Forms.

From project templates you will be redirected to a Creative Requests Form which will capture all your team's creative requests and organize it for you.

When you select Use Template, you can then rename the template and get started with your new project in Form template.

Duplicating a Form

When duplicating a project, you also have the option to duplicate your Form. Just select the Form check box when duplicating the desired project.

Forms automatically duplicate via Asana-created templates, custom templates, and the API.
